Lapis lazuli derives its name from two sources. 'Lapis' is the Latin word for 'stone.' Lazuli stems from the Persian word 'lazhward,' which means 'blue.' The blue of lapis lazuli from Afghanistan is so revered and well known that it's called Afghan in the gem trade. Color displays an intense dark sapphire blue, lightly dusted with flecks of golden pyrite. Add fashionable specks of bold blue with these lever-back earrings from the KARIS Collection. Adorned with lapis lazuli, the pair is fashioned in ion plated 18K yellow gold over brass.
